Those wishing to participate in virtual operations simulating real world can fly Max aircraft to Huntsville International, Huntsville, Al. KHSV, We will have a 737 to jump seat pilots back to Orlando to fly another plane to Huntsville (simulated).

A real world request,, many of our vpilots and former vpilots all live on west coast of Florida just south of Tampa, including Ashley Winters, MAX 607. Join me in praying for their safety.

I am posting this to give a sense of how deadly this hurricane is and how it may touch the lives of people we know who are part of this VA. This thing is deadly serious.

FEMA has designated Homestead AFB Fl KHST as the staging area for hurricane supplies going to the Keys and the Caribbean. Max Freight pilots are authorized to fly direct to Homestead

We now have two humanitarian operations, Harvey and Irma. Randolph AFB is the staging area for Harvey, Homestead for Irma.

Obviously outbound freight at Orlando has been affected by Irma. However, freight is going strong out of Huntsville, Memphis, and Atlanta. Deadhead is authorized to these airports to load outbound freight.

Pilots are free to fly these routes or one of their own, note in your PIREP the flight is for hurricane or humanitarian relief.

Remember, every hour flown counts towards a real world donation to hurricane relief.
